Just picked up a set of Propus C wheel for cheap off of craigslist, but two have slight inner rim dings which I figured would be no problem to have repaired when they are being refinished.
My parts manager is telling me that I can get replacement parts for BBS wheels for cheap, probably cheaper than having them repaired, and I should just go that route instead.
Skeptical, as Id never heard this for the 2 piece wheels, I did some searching and came up empty handed. All I found were parts for the high end 3 piece wheels. The outer rim(barrel) sells for $300 ea. for the 3 piece, so I dont see how itd be cheaper but whatever.
Posting this to see if anyone knows about parts for these, otherwise Im calling I'm dumb and will just have them refinished ($95 per) like I originally planned.

BBS and cheap? They didn't think they mix well together
Did you google? I found lots of sites stating they can get replacement parts!
But at $95 (wow!) I'd just get them repaired.

That was my first thought! Did some more searching and I only came up with replacement bolts. There are plenty of parts for the high end 3 piece wheels, yes.BBS and cheap? They didn't think they mix well together
These wheels were specifically made for Volvo, as can be seen on the back of the spokes. They are stamped with "Volvo" and the size "7.5 x 17" along with other numbers and "Germany". I couldnt see a company like BBS making parts for 1 OEM wheel.
Pretty sure my parts manager just didnt want to admit he assumed wrong.
Regular pricing is $150 per, but they cut us a break since we send them so much business.

I'm sure IF you found parts, they'd be well over $95 a wheel. I'd go with the repair(s)
